Description

This detached three- to four-bedroom bungalow is set between Kirkbride and Newton Arlosh, with open countryside around it and the coast a short drive away. The single-storey layout includes an entrance hall, three bedrooms and a main bathroom, while the principal bedroom connects to a further room that could be used as a bedroom, office or dressing room, alongside an en-suite shower room. The main living area combines a dining kitchen with a lounge and opens into a separate snug. The kitchen has fitted solid-wood units, an Aga, an electric cooker and space for dining. French doors lead from the lounge to the rear garden, and the snug has a multi-fuel stove. The property is described as double glazed and oil centrally heated, with the oil-fired Aga providing heating and hot water. Outside, the property has lawned gardens, a double garage and extensive driveway parking, including space for larger vehicles. The rear garden includes mature trees and is noted as having potential for an extension, subject to planning permission. Local facilities mentioned include primary schools, a surgery, shop and Post Office, pub and bowling club; the property is also in the catchment area for Nelson Thomlinson School. The listing states that the tenure is freehold and the council tax band is D.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a clean, usable rural bungalow with a strong starting layout: spacious open-plan living and dining, a separate snug, generous gardens, a double garage and extensive parking. The dated but serviceable finishes offer scope for a light cosmetic refresh, with the kitchen’s Aga and solid-looking cabinetry giving the space character to work with. The garden also has room for improvement, and the listing mentions extension potential subject to planning permission, though feasibility is not established.

At £375,000, the score is 53/100 (grade D), a weaker overall opportunity rather than a clear value-led buy. The floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the £5,000–£12,000 renovation range points to a relatively light project, but the available information does not establish the finished value.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the traditional kitchen and older interior finishes while retaining distinctive features such as the Aga and snug stove.
  • Make better use of the generous lawned garden, including tidying its edges and hardstanding; the listing also cites extension potential subject to planning permission.
  • The open-plan living and dining space, separate snug, double garage and extensive driveway provide a strong base for a rural family home.
